The long neck of the flamingo - (Phoenicopterus roseus)

The long neck of the flamingo - (Phoenicopterus roseus) - I photographed this flamingo looking for food underwater. The long pink neck, covered with numerous droplets, forms this double curvature, half under the water and half above. Nikon D 300s, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 5.6, 1/3200 sec, ISO 200. Thanks for your comments

Beautiful flamingo neck image, Giangiorgio! Good frame, interesting shapes, lines, light and reflections, delicious color combination plus drops pattern... Well done! Bravo Master! Sincerely, Tatiana

Tatiana, glad you like it enough to save it in your favorites, ciao Giangiorgio

Giangiorgio, initially I thought (whimsically, of course) that I was looking at a sea serpent. I wasn't disappointed at all the the subject is a flamingo. Aside from the magnificent color contrast between cool and warm, what fascinated me were the droplets of water on the bird. They're so sharp that I conjectured you used a macro lens. - - My best always, michael - - - Ciao!
